>> i think his good advice about governor romney was romney should be romney. he's a smart guy. he thinks voters are smart. he thinks they can understand that when you reduce loopholes and deductions and you flatten the code out, you make it flatter, fairer, reduce compliance cost and voters will get that. i never underestimate the voters. when you explain medicare reform, ryan's medicare reform to them, they understand that. when it's really been explained for instance in rubio's three-way race with the preponderance of seniors in florida, he won. i trust voters. i think they're smart. and i think they're really fed up and sick of sound bite politics and particularly sick of destruction politics. >> maria, sound bite politics, do you think that's the problem here? >> no. that's not the problem. i do agree with newt gingrich in that mitt romney has a communications problem. he certainly hasn't been able to seal the deal or communicate what it is his plan would be. or maybe the problem is that he actually has been communicating that too well to middle class families and they abso

mitt romney's on the move. in the newest cnn poll conducted after last week's debate, the president's lead in the all important battleground state of ohio has narrowed to just four points. that's within the poll's margin of error. so neck and neck. no surprise therefore that both candidates are in ohio tonight. the challenger taking aim at the president just a few minutes ago. >> they chant four more years, four more years, and today, there are 28 days before the election. i think the right chant ought to be for them, four more weeks, four more weeks. and with an audience like this -- >> four more weeks! four more weeks! >> president obama fired back in a campaign event at ohio state university. >> that is not change, that is a relapse. we have been there. we have tried that. we are not going back. we are moving forward and that's why i'm running for a second term as president of the united states. >> joining me now from the obama campaign, deputy campaign manager stephanie cutter. welcome, stephanie. >> thank

>> you keep asking me who the real mitt romney is. i have no clue who the real mitt romney is. you had the speaker, newt gingrich, former speaker, newt gingrich on before. please youtube what the speaker said about mitt romney and think about what would make the speaker change his mind so much. when the speaker was talking about mitt romney when he was running against him, he calls him a flat-out liar. he said of mitt romney any man who will lie to get to the white house will lie when he is in the white house. so when i look at people like the former speaker, when i look at other republicans, pretty much every republican candidate who has ever run against mitt romney, all accuse him of having tremendous character flaws, not having a core, being willing to say anything to make it to the white house. this is not kind of where you look at a person and say well, this person's not qualified. >> i just said to beau biden earlier, it's all very well saying that but what about barack obama, i remember this being a very big moment, i was proud of it because i was against guantanamo bay.

i support governor romney. i think he's the likely nominee and the challenge that he's facing right now and in the vigorous contest is making him a candidate. >> let me ask you about mitt romney before i ask you about the president versus whoever they come up with and that is, what do you think mitt romney is doing wrong? >> well, you know, it's not for me -- >> as an analyst. >> as an analyst, mitt romney's inability to really close the deal and not to get stronger as the primaries goes on i think speaks with his inability to connect with voters and part of this process is really to give these people an ability to get out there and connect with voters. and i think that the difference between romney and some of the other candidates who have had that ability is an authenticity, a willingness to stick to principles and say what he believes. he has not done that during this campaign. people have problems connecting to him personally. that's what this primary process is supposed to do for candidates, to let them gr
